L-Acoustics KARA II Speaker System

Kara II Modular Line Source Speaker – High-Performance Audio for Large Venues and Professional Events

Introducing the Kara II, a flagship component of the K Series designed for precision sound coverage in demanding environments. This advanced line array system delivers exceptional clarity, extended throw, and customizable directivity—making it ideal for performing arts centers, corporate conferences, live events, and large-scale gatherings. Engineered with class-leading SPL per unit weight and footprint, Kara II ensures powerful audio performance without compromising portability or setup efficiency.

At the heart of its innovation lies Panflex technology, allowing a single enclosure to adjust horizontally across four distinct dispersion patterns: 70° symmetrical, 90° asymmetrical, and 110° symmetrical. The tighter 70° mode boosts output by up to 2 dB over wider settings, maximizing audience reach while maintaining consistent energy distribution. Combined with inter-element angles from 0° to 10°, users can tailor coverage to match any room geometry—from narrow stages to expansive auditoriums—ensuring uniform sound quality across all seating zones.

Whether used as a standalone main system for vocal reinforcement or integrated with the Sonos sub SB18 for full-range response, Kara II excels in both simplicity and versatility. Its modular design supports seamless integration into existing arrays or stand-alone configurations, offering flexibility for fill, delay, or primary front-of-house applications. The inclusion of two 8-inch low-frequency drivers and one 3-inch high-frequency compression driver ensures balanced frequency reproduction from 55 Hz to 20 kHz, delivering crisp highs, clear mids, and deep bass when paired with a compatible Subwoofer.

Designed for professional rigging and durability, each unit weighs just 26 kg (57 lbs), enabling efficient handling during installation. The rugged exterior not only enhances visual appeal but also protects internal components against environmental stressors such as humidity, dust, and accidental impacts—ideal for touring productions or permanent installations. Paired with our digital amplifiers, which are precisely tuned to optimize speaker performance, Kara II achieves clean power delivery with minimal distortion, ensuring reliable operation under continuous use.

Perfectly suited for sound engineers seeking a scalable solution that balances control, power, and adaptability, Kara II meets the needs of modern event production. From intimate performances to massive festivals, this speaker provides consistent, immersive audio that resonates with every listener—regardless of location within the venue.

Users consistently praise the system’s ability to maintain clarity at long distances and its intuitive setup process. Many note how the adjustable directivity significantly improves coverage accuracy compared to traditional fixed-pattern line arrays, especially in challenging acoustic spaces. Feedback highlights the seamless synergy between Kara II and the Sonos SB18, creating a cohesive sonic experience that feels natural and impactful.

Common questions often revolve around compatibility with existing setups, ease of configuration, and optimal mounting heights. The answer lies in its modular nature—Kara II integrates effortlessly with standard truss systems and aligns with industry-standard rigging hardware. For those looking to enhance sound consistency in venues with irregular layouts, the ability to fine-tune horizontal dispersion offers unmatched customization. When deployed correctly, it becomes an indispensable tool for achieving professional-grade audio results in diverse environments.
